hobbez posted:This is ridiculous unless you are over the age of 50 or live with someone with serious cardiac, immune, or respiratory commorbidities If you are thirty‐four, and you get CoVID, it’s about as likely to kill you as every other cause combined in an ordinary year, at that age. It’s not far off for ten years of so on either side of that age. If you could do a weekly chore, of no more than an hour, that halves your risk of dying in the near future, wouldn’t you? Even if it doesn’t kill you, it can make your life very unpleasant for a couple of weeks with walking pneumonia. There’s a decent chance it puts you in the hospital, which, O.K., you’ll probably survive, but at this point you’ll really be regretting not taking precautions, and that grandma you’re taking a bed in front will, too.

Plus if you’re in isolation and have nothing better to do with your time, why not? I’m in isolation and have better things to do than quarantine my groceries. Things like drinking beer, playing video games, and shitposting

I set aside fresh produce and stuff that needs to be refrigrated like whole chicken and clean their packaging with soapy water and let the canned/long life stuff sit for a day or two then also clean them just in case. Changed all clothes and took a second shower afer the delivery. It's not like I was doing something else so didn't feel like a chore for something I won't be doing for at least two-three weeks.

I don't know this has been posted or not but seems like Murica is calling all medical professionals (especially if you are experienced in Corona-chan or similar situations) to go to the embassies in their respective countries to -possibly- fast track to Freedomland work or exchange visa (and urging people with existing visas to apply for extension). As someone who once wanted to move to the states as a legal immigrant I know how convoluted and draconian the visa application is (granted that most people are not even eligible to even apply for it) I feel like this is an indicator of how serious things are but feel free to say that it's not that serious enough to one of the most xenophobic people in the world right now trying to poach medical professionals from poor countries in hopes of living in the states afterwards

I feel like now would be a good time to assume a new identity as a doctor with some falsified credentials. Dr. Vandalism, MD. I like that. I've read about this Demara man before, but I'm not sure where. This might be a good article about him: https://gizmodo.com/a-master-imposter-who-became-a-fake-doctor-and-performe-1711489260 Interesting fellow to read about during interesting times. In fact, con men are always interesting to read about. Here's another if you are bored: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/man-who-sold-eiffel-tower-twice-180958370/

Just try your best to stay healthy I guess and stop smoking if you are, that might help your chances, but you are gonna get it some time this year, propably. Early estimates (lol) were that it would only infect eighty percent of the population. On average, if you are more careful than four out of five people, you won’t get it. Of course, that’s just the average.

Zugzwang posted:So about 1 in 16. My only solace is that that's gotta be from *confirmed* cases and the inherent severity bias there, so the real case-pneumonia rate is lower. But still not awesome. Pulmonary fibrosis can result from severe ARDS of any source. But ARDS itself has a mortality of 30-50% under absolutely optimal conditions, so if you're at that point pulmonary fibrosis is kinda the least of your worries. Anybody with ARDS is by definition critical, so look up the rate of critical illness for your age group and your chance of getting pulmonary fibrosis is gonna be less than that

Hmm, I love my job. I feel like I'm making a difference providing IT for the best company on the planet (Located in USA of course). Yes, the pride I feel when I fix some registers in the garden center so customers lined around the corner can buy their essential pansies, mulch, gravel in this hard trying times. The fear ... I mean the excitement in a older cashiers eyes as she rings up these people... So amazing. I mean what else can you do when you are stuck at home! This makes perfect sense! Go complete all of those projects you wanted to complete. The time is now.

hobbez posted:This is ridiculous unless you are over the age of 50 or live with someone with serious cardiac, immune, or respiratory commorbidities Healthy young people are dying of this in significant-enough numbers to warrant significant caution. Worse than that, healthy people in my age group (20-44) are being hospitalized at a rate of 20% in Italy and S. Korea. My local hospitals are already at capacity, so I'd basically be killing an old person with carelessness if I had to take a ventilator. And even if I were in the majority of infected cases that don't need to be hospitalized, I really don't want to suffer the extremely lovely symptoms that a lot of "mild" cases have had to deal with: high fever, aches, chills, waking cough, etc. possibly for weeks. Seriously, gently caress all of that. The amount of effort I'm putting into prevention is really low, I spend more time per week brushing and flossing my teeth. So go ahead and explain to me why an extra 10 minutes of sanitation and prevention effort per grocery trip is ridiculous

I think my wife and I already had it. She had an insane amount of coughing for like 2 weeks and 103 fever for a while, body aches and all that good poo poo. I have been taking a ridiculous amount of vitamins and other stuff in preparation for this thing. I got mildly sick, like 100 fever and aches with no cough. There's no way of knowing if we had it or what but she got tested for the regular ole influenza and it came back negative. I don't really know but I have a hunch that we both had whatever we were gonna get as a result of it. I hope it's just over for us now. Who knows, though. Could have been something totally unrelated.

QuarkJets posted:I bring food into the garage. Separate nonperishables to stay out for 3 days. Separate fruits and vegetables to stay out for 1 day in a paper bag. Perishable containers get wiped down with bleach and get set aside. Then strip off all clothing and throw it directly into the washing machine, which is also in the garage; I'm wearing a cloth mask, cloth gloves over nitrile gloves, long pants, long sleeve shirt, long sleeve jacket. Everything gets removed and put in the washing machine. Take a shower. Then return to transfer the bleach-wiped perishables to the refrigerator. The following day, fruits and vegetables go in the refrigerator in their own drawer, nothing gets consumed raw and hands must be washed before and after handling stuff in the fridge. 3 days later the nonperishables get put away.
